_ Hey, everybody! IVe just wrapped up the

first issue of my very own magazine, and now
I'm ^king a quick trip to the magical mountains
of Nepal, where it’s rumored you can find a family of
abominable snowmen who are actually quite nice. I can’t wait to see
what else I find!

Putting together the magazine was lots of fun. Of course I had

some help from my friends Wenda, Woof, and Wizard Whitebeard.
Even Od\aw had something to add.
Inside you’ll find all sorts of excitement. You can hit the road
running by reading Wizard Whitebeard’s Wisdom, in which the wizard
reveals some clever tricks and the latest slang.
Then check out “The World of Waldo ” which focuses on someone I'm
very close to: the man who chronicles my adventures, Martin
Handford.

My canine companion takes a turn in the spotlight, too, in “Woof

Tales,” a terrific comic strip. And Wenda has invited you to the Bijou
Theater for a “Monster Movie Matinee.” Ooh, scary!
■ You II also meet some of my favorite explorers in “The Waldo Hall of
■ Fame.” This time around we’ll look at Christopher Columbus, who
■ opened up a whole new world back in 1492, and Marco Polo, whose
■ trips to China inspired Columbus.
I And there’s even morel In the meantime, my train has reached its
■ destination, so it's time to say hi to the abominable snowpeople—if
I I can find them, that is.

I See you next time!

8 Where’s Waldo? Magazine
I had been looking for¬
ward to meeting my
hero, Martin Handford, the
creator of Waldo, for a long
time. I had heard, though, that
he was a very private person
who didn't like doing inter¬
views. I wondered how he
would react to my questions.
I needn't have worried. Mr.
Handford answered the door
with a smile and two happy
Labradors named Bonny and
Dougal. He didn't look like
Waldo, but he had Waldo's
other characteristics: Mr.
Handford was friendly, cheer¬
ful, and a font of trivia.
Mr. Handford lives on a
quiet street in St. Albans,
north of London, England. As
he showed me his small, tidy
studio, his illustrations began
to come to life. Drawings

a fizzy drink for me.
Where's Waldo?Magazine:
Have you been drawing a long
time?
Martin Handford: Yes, since
early childhood, when I spent
many hours drawing to pass
the time.
WWM: When you were a
child, what did you like to
draw most?
MH: I was particularly inspired
by the entertainment most
boys of my age enjoyed: toy
soldiers, swashbuckling films,
and historical adventure sto¬
ries in comics.
The thrill I got from films
inspired me to go home and
draw pictures where I could
continue on paper whatever
adventure I had just seen.
Crowd scenesrusually bat¬
tles, were the pictures I en¬
joyed drawing most.
WWM: Were films your only
inspiration?
MH: No, I have a very vivid
imagination and could easily
immerse myself in all types of
adventures until I felt I was
really living them.
History especially appealed
to me. I had a vision of history
as a pageant of colorful char¬
acters in exciting situations.
Invariably, I find the novelty
of images from the past, like
costumes, vehicles, architec¬
ture, etc., more appealing
than those of the present.
WWM: I've heard that you
collect toys, especially toy
soldiers. Did you use these to
make the crowd scenes you
imagined come to life?
MH: Yes. I used to enjoy
parades, military formations,
and battle re-enactments. Mil¬
itary history was my passion
as I grew up. And miniature
things have always fascinated
me, too.
WWM: Did you go on to an art
college?
MH: Yes, and I took a course
specializing in illustration,
which was a turning point in
my development as an artist.
Prior to going to college, my
audience was strictly limited
to anyone who visited the art
galleries where I occasionally
exhibited work.
WWM: What did you do after
college?
MH: I started finding illustra¬
tion work for magazines,
newspapers, book publishers,
and advertising agencies.
My work has been al-
SC£'nesL.usu-

February, 1985, an art director
at Walker Books noticed one
of my illustrations and asked
me to illustrate a book of
crowd scenes. The only aspect
of the project that seemed un¬
resolved was the choice of a
theme linking these pictures
together. This was the point
when Wally, as he is known in
England, was invented to be
lost in each picture. 1 gave
him his distinctive appear¬
ance, so that the reader would
know it was him. I called him
Wally, because in England it
was such an ordinary, almost
comical name. I wanted him to
be the opposite of an out-of-
this-world super-hero.
Wally is now known by dif¬
ferent names in different
countries. We picked Waldo
for the U.S. because it seemed
to suit him. It sounded friend¬
ly and a little nostalgic.
When I found out from fan
mail sent by children that
Waldo seemed very popular, it
seemed a good idea to give
him companions, like his
faithful dog, Woof.
WWM: Do you do a lot of re¬
search when you're drawing a
A recent crowd scene sketch (above); as a child,
Martin drew crowd scenes, but no Waldo (right).
10 Where’s Waldo? Magazine
Waldo scene?
MH: Yes, and I have a good se¬
lection of history books. But I
have a photographic memory
for detail that interests me,
like historical buildings,
costumes, and such.
WWM: Do you see the pic¬
tures in your mind before you
start drawing?
“I had a vision of
history as a pageant of
colorful characters in
exciting situations”
MH: Absolutely. Most of the
crowd scenes in the Waldo
books have been floating
around in my mind for years.
WWM: Where do all the jokes
in your pictures come from?
MH: Once I've decided on the
subject my mind moves quite
freely along a route of related
ideas. For example, once I had
decided to do an underwater
scene, my thoughts went to
fish, different colored fish-
fish with different names that
could be visual puns, like dog¬
fish and catfish—then to other
sea creature like crabs, sea
lions, mermaids even. Then I
considered the setting, includ¬
ing rocks, seaweed, and
buried treasure. One thought
leads to another, until I have
enough ideas.
WWM: Where do you
start? Do you draw the out¬
lines first and then add color?
MH: I basically work from the
upper left corner down and to
the right, drawing sections
with a pen outline and then
filling them in with water-
color paints and a brush. I do
a section at a time, filling in
details as I go along.
WWM: There is often a lot of
mayhem in your pictures. Why
is this?
MH: These are the kinds of
things I enjoyed when I was
young. My pictures are always
humorous and usually set in
far-off lands, so I hope read¬
ers understand that the scenes
are not real and that no one is
really getting hurt.
WWM: What are your other
interests?
MH: I'm interested in history,
comics, miniature figures,
films, all the things I liked as a
child. And sometimes I'll read
books like encyclopedias,
where I can select a subject at
random and read about it.
WWM: You sound a little like
Waldo, always visiting differ¬
ent times and places.
MH: Yes, and I
don't even have to
leave my studio to
go on an
adventure!

Once you’ve made your copies, use a paper fastener
to attach the small circle to the middle of the large

The inner circle is your master alphabet, and the
outer circle is your code. If you spin the A on the
master alphabet over four letters, then A becomes
D, B becomes E, and so on. That means that the
word “bad” would be spelled “edg.”

addition to
written codes, you can use a lot of secret languages to keep people from understanding what
you and your friends are saying. Here’s one I like to use when I'm traveling through time.
All you do is add an “ing” after every consonant in a word and say the vowels out loud. For
example, Waldo becomes Wing-a-ling-ding-o and Woof is Wing-oo-fing. You’ll find a few
more examples below:
Wenda: Wing-e-ning-ding-a Odlaw: O-ding-ling-a-wing

Ah, sunny Spain. See those

Christopher Columbus, who
has just returned from the
first recorded sailing across
the Atlantic Ocean.
Columbus was born in 1451,
and for the first part of his
life probably worked as a
weaver. He soon developed a
love of the sea, thanks to his
trips to collect supplies. In
his 20s, Columbus became a
sailor and moved to Lisbon,
Portugal, which at the time
was the center of Europe's
shipping industry. Eager to
learn more about the sea,
Columbus taught himself to
read and write and soon
came upon Marco Polo's fa¬
one had ever done it. (At the
time, Europeans took ships
south, around the coasts of
Europe and Africa and then
turned east to Asia.) Colum¬
bus decided to try sailing
west. There was only one
problem: money.
Columbus first asked the
Portuguese government for
the cash to mount his
expedition. But it was al¬
ready spending heavily on
the exploration of West
Africa. Columbus then tried
England, which also turned
him down. He then went to
Spain, where he found some
agreeable people: King Ferdi¬
nand and Queen Isabella.
On August 3,1492, Colum¬
bus and his three ships, the
Nina, the Pinta, and the
Santa Maria, set sail. For al¬
most 70 days, Columbus and
his crew sailed with no land
in sight. Finally, on October
12, they spotted one of the
Bahama's outlying islands,
which Columbus named San
Salvadore. Today, it is called
Watling Island.
Columbus thought that
they had reached Japan! He
found some gold in the
streams and bartered with
the natives for gold bracelets
to take home. Then, still not
realizing that he had found
an unexpected continent, he
